You should be able to set FSB to 1600mhz (set the memory to sync of course with stock timings) and not even touch the voltages on anything. I have mine set to 1800mhz and just barley bumped the NB/SB. You can even set the volts below auto or stock and run at 1600mhz. I cant remember what stock is but I set mine to like 1.26 @ 1600mhz FSB and it was very stable.

Thanks HH!

Since I am going to use DDR3 1600 PC3 12800, am I correct that I wouldn't "Sync" but still "Link" with a 2:1 divider?

Also, would this change any of the voltage recommendations?
